Trip to the Christmas Capital of The Philippines



Quick post. 

Later this morning, I and my friends will head out to the Christmas Capital of the Philippines, none other than the City of San Fernando, Pampanga for the Giant Lantern Festival 2012.

It was back in 2007 when I last went to San Fernando to see the ~20-feet tall lanterns made up of thousands of light bulbs operated manually by a rotating drum.

It's exciting because I get to return to the province where our family came from. Yep. I'm Kapampangan (That's someone from the province of Pampanga for thsoe who doesn't know Filipino). I may not speak the dialect fluently, but embracing the culture my family was involved in somehow gives me great pleasure.

We'll leave by 9AM later and we expect to get there at around 10:30AM. I'll be posting pictures so watch out.

I'm finishing up some tasks and will go to sleep in a bit. Until next post! :D
